Speaker 2: I love of which we found out I could have
Speaker 2: stayed because I for like three and a half four hours, right,
Speaker 2: But it ended up.
Speaker 3: Perfect because then I just had like my little I
Speaker 3: was I have a time with them.
Speaker 2: It was so great. I was so actually so happy

Speaker 1: I was like, she is.
Speaker 2: Getting to soak up all of the all of the
Speaker 2: n KOTB Nights Brothers essence.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it ended up being the best, the best of
Speaker 3: both things.
Speaker 2: It was so great and just that podcast, Like they
Speaker 2: are so sweet and so lovely. I remember when they
Speaker 2: were on the show and we like really hit it off.
Speaker 1: They were just I chatted it.
Speaker 2: Up with with John quite a bit when he was
Speaker 2: on the show, and I know you said he's kind
Speaker 2: of the more like reserved, a little quiet one, but
Speaker 2: I was Jordan, Jordan is Jordan. You can't tell him apart,
Speaker 2: can you. It's okay. Jordan is shy.
Speaker 3: He's the dynamo on stage and he's reserved and shy
Speaker 3: in real life. John, he's the guy that will give
Speaker 3: you a big bear hug.
Speaker 2: And Jordan, Yeah, yeah, I remember like he and I
Speaker 2: were on set and he just he and I really.
Speaker 1: Chatted it up quite sweet and lovely.
Speaker 2: But they all were truly, but I when you did
Speaker 2: the intro and like teared up, that was like that
Speaker 2: peak friendship moment because when you love your friend or
Speaker 2: a family member or someone so much that you get
Speaker 2: to like vicariously experience joy through them, there's something so
Speaker 2: pure and wonderful about it.
Speaker 1: And I just I was like, this is great.
Speaker 2: I would not have asked for like a better I
Speaker 2: don't know, a bonding moment, well bonding moment, And it
Speaker 2: like lifted my spirits to see my friends so excited
Speaker 2: about something, especially because like I know, like it's like
Speaker 2: you've met them before and you've done all this stuff,
Speaker 2: but you still like you're you enjoy it and you're
Speaker 2: so passionate and excited about it. And for me, when
Speaker 2: I get to see somebody, anybody really but especially somebody
Speaker 2: I love be so excited about something like that, to
Speaker 2: me is a true joy because it's it's fun to
Speaker 2: see people love and enjoy something. So I'm so glad
Speaker 2: we have to do that.
Speaker 3: It was so special and I was so much self pressure,
Speaker 3: like pressure. I was like I want to do this right,
Speaker 3: like I want to do the justice and honor the guys.
Speaker 3: And I wanted to kind of convey to people, it's
Speaker 3: not just a boy band. I'm not just like this ah,
Speaker 3: you know this crazy girl that screams the boy bands
Speaker 3: Like no, this is meaningful for me and this is why.
Speaker 3: And I think that's why I started crying. Not to mention,
Speaker 3: there were like how many producers in the room.
Speaker 2: Seventeen people like standing of hovering, being like a nice
Speaker 2: intimate conversation with all of us shoved in a hotel room,
Speaker 2: right and then.
Speaker 3: So I wasn't planning to cry, but it came out
Speaker 3: and I was like, all right, I'm just going to
Speaker 3: roll with it.
Speaker 2: But I was. I was so glad you were there for.
Speaker 3: The first half and the second half, and you were
Speaker 3: so glad I wasn't for the second.
Speaker 2: So well, yeah, I texted you. I was like, I
Speaker 2: did it.
Speaker 3: I did it, And I was like good, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: so I loved it, loved it.
Speaker 2: Well, now now we'll just have to do uh, we'll
Speaker 2: have to do another road trip.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a call iHeart or hun day or.
Speaker 2: Give us a call, give us a car. You know,
Speaker 2: I'll take that. Ionic I'm still I keep talking about
Speaker 2: it to discal I keep going like that car.
Speaker 3: It's a great, I know, it's a great.
Speaker 2: I'd be it might be I might have to trade
Speaker 2: my current Hyundai and get a new one, which is fine,
Speaker 2: because I I had a misstap with a bump my
Speaker 2: bumper and a trash can.
Speaker 3: Oh, Jody, well it looks parallel park What were you know?
Speaker 2: I'm great at parallel parking. I amily so good at
Speaker 2: parallel parking. No, you when I had.
Speaker 1: The minivan walk, how can you pa?
Speaker 2: That's the thing, very great, super like no can judge distance,
Speaker 2: can squeeze in between things like I know exactly how
Speaker 2: much tream I have. It's my own body awareness that
Speaker 2: I'm just not okay, And it's usually the fact that
Speaker 2: I'm thinking three steps further than my body has gotten.
Speaker 2: But okay, okay, but in a car, your car? I fine?
Speaker 1: But no.
Speaker 2: It was it was when it was really rainy mm hmm,
Speaker 2: and we were having like terrible downpours. I was driving
Speaker 2: over Laurel Canyon and there was a trash can that
Speaker 2: was traveling towards me in the rain. It was being
Speaker 2: swept down Laurel Canyon and and it made a small
Speaker 2: some contact with my bumper and I was like, ah,
Speaker 2: and then I got home and it was like kind
Speaker 2: of hanging on. So I keep putting it up, like
Speaker 2: it's to the point where I'm like, I can't dictate this.
Speaker 2: That is that is now.
Speaker 1: We're an adult, now, we can't do that. But it's yeah, definitely.
Speaker 2: And then when I when you pull in and like
Speaker 2: accidentally like hit the front little bumper thing, yeah, then
Speaker 2: it scrapes it off even more.
Speaker 3: Well, that's the trash can's fault, that's not yours.
Speaker 2: That's what I trash can rain, and and the errant,
Speaker 2: you know, cascading trash can that's not.
Speaker 1: I'm lucky, I'm alive.
Speaker 2: But yeah, so anyway, I don't know what happened to
Speaker 2: that poor person's trash can and how the trash can
Speaker 2: fared and all this, and I think, I, I don't know,
Speaker 2: Maybe I should have stopped. Maybe I shouldn't be saying
Speaker 2: this on the radio. Well, I didn't claim insurance, so
Speaker 2: it's fine. I didn't. Like, there's no fraud. It's just
Speaker 2: the someone in the hit a trash canyon. You'll never
Speaker 2: figure out which one.
Speaker 3: But somebody's listening to this who lives in Laurel Canyon
Speaker 3: right now, and they're like.
Speaker 2: They're like, that's what up into my trash?
Speaker 1: Is my trash cat?
Speaker 2: Jody Sweeten?
Speaker 1: So shall we do a recap?
Speaker 2: Please?
Speaker 3: Let's get out of this, Yes, please, let's get out
Speaker 3: of this pre chow chatter.
Speaker 1: Doc, you got us in here, we gotta get us out.
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, welcome back to Oh like this damn bird
Speaker 2: out of a cage. Okay, let's that's there.
Speaker 3: We go, Oh god this episode.
Speaker 2: Okay, welcome back to how Rude Tannertos.
Speaker 3: I'm Andrea Barber and I'm Jody Sweeten, and today we're
Speaker 3: discussing season three, episode sixteen, Bye Bye Bertie.
Speaker 2: It originally aired February second, nineteen ninety.
Speaker 3: It goes a little something like this, Michelle loses the
Speaker 3: preschool's pet bird.
Speaker 1: I love that word.
Speaker 2: Katting these synopsis down to a sentence, just one sentence,
Speaker 2: you know, few, which also makes me feel like those
Speaker 2: are usually the scripts that were like, oh, we didn't
Speaker 2: do a lot with this, did we, because it all
Speaker 2: fitting in about let's see one, two, three, four, six words.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's the That's all you need to know
Speaker 3: is just they shall lost the pet bird, and that's it.
Speaker 3: It's but you know, I can't believe we're still in
Speaker 3: season three. Does this season feel longer to you than
Speaker 3: previous seasons?
Speaker 2: I'm just like, how are we only on sixteen?
Speaker 3: I don't know why it feels so long?
Speaker 2: Uh, yeah, it does feel a little bit longer.
Speaker 1: I think maybe.
Speaker 2: Is it maybe because like the first couple of seasons
Speaker 2: were ones that we maybe weren't as familiar with or
Speaker 2: didn't like, so it was kind of like all new,
Speaker 2: and when it's all new, you're like, oh, this is
Speaker 2: going so quickly right now, like we kind of hit
Speaker 2: the age where we're like, oh, yeah, I remember this
Speaker 2: a little bit more. I don't know. Yeah, okay, that's
Speaker 2: a good theory, just a I don't know, throwing it
Speaker 2: out there.
Speaker 3: Okay. I was just like, wow, we're still in season three, but.
Speaker 2: We're still older or uh it's just you know, we're
Speaker 2: sort of slogging through with the episodes because they're not great. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I think I feel like we've hit a run of
Speaker 3: episodes that are just kind of like not filler.
Speaker 2: Ish right filler. I'm just a little silly. There were
Speaker 2: some things that happened in this episode that I very
Speaker 2: much against. Okay, let's get let's get into it.
Speaker 1: We'll get there.
Speaker 3: But good lord, this is gonna be a little painful.

Speaker 3: this was a weird episode. It was written by Lenny Rips.

Speaker 2: a creepy little kid.

Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: No, he's he's a fantastic actor. Was so cute as
Speaker 3: a kid, and I really want to talk to him, you.
Speaker 2: Know, I weirdly remember about him. What is that He
Speaker 2: and his family lived out in Apple Valley, which was
Speaker 2: like the high desert here in LA and was a
Speaker 2: several hour co mute. Oh yeah, and if I remember correctly,
Speaker 2: they drove back and forth.
Speaker 3: Oh, they didn't stay in town.
Speaker 2: Maybe they did, like on tight nights, but I remember
Speaker 2: they did a lot of driving.
Speaker 3: If I were driving, Yeah, because that's easily a two
Speaker 3: hour drive.
Speaker 2: To add some traffic to that.
Speaker 3: That's a lot. Yeah, that's a lot. So kudos to
Speaker 3: his parents. Yeah two and all that drive seriously, oh bam.
Speaker 3: Looking forward to seeing much more of uh Nico Hughes
Speaker 3: to come. So we start with the teaser. In Michelle's room,
Speaker 3: Danny and Joey are getting ready to mark Michelle's height
Speaker 3: on her bedroom wall, a nice tradition that many many
Speaker 3: parents do with their kids. Michelle gleefully stands against the
Speaker 3: wall with her arms straight up in the air, saying, ooh,
Speaker 3: I'm very tall.
Speaker 2: They laugh.
Speaker 3: They tell her to put her arms down and stand
Speaker 3: up straight. Joey puts a ruler against the top of
Speaker 3: her head. Michelle goes onto her tippy toes, and Joey says,
Speaker 3: you're cheating, and Michelle gives him a big eye roll
Speaker 3: a nuts.
Speaker 2: Danny is so cute.
Speaker 3: She was really like the sass man, the sass is
Speaker 3: really coming out now. Danny says, Hey, good news, it
Speaker 3: looks like you're half an inch taller, and Michelle emotionlessly responds,
Speaker 3: big deal, see ya and walks right out the door. Yeah.
Speaker 1: She was like, yeah, I'm either six inches taller or nothing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I just love that. She says kind of
Speaker 2: what we're all thinking.
Speaker 3: It's just like, yeah, this is not a big deal,
Speaker 3: Like it's a half an inch, you know, Like, just Danny,
Speaker 3: stop obsessing over it's just hysterical to me. Next, we're
Speaker 3: in the We're still in Michelle's room, We've never left,
Speaker 3: and Danny is getting Michelle's bed ready for her while
Speaker 3: reminding her that tomorrow is a very big day. It's
Speaker 3: her first day of preschool, which at first I was like,
Speaker 3: why is she starting school in the middle of the
Speaker 3: year like the girls, the older girls already started school
Speaker 3: months ago. But maybe that's because it's pre school.
Speaker 2: Well it's pre school, right, so you maybe have to
Speaker 2: be a certain age or body trained or whatever, so
Speaker 2: you know, preschool is usually like kind of kind of
Speaker 2: an open enrollment thing.
Speaker 3: Like maybe is not as many strict rules for preschool,
Speaker 3: so it's like, yeah, come on, come on in when
Speaker 3: you're ready.
Speaker 1: Yeah, train three or three and a half or whatever
Speaker 1: then you yeah, okay.
Speaker 3: Michelle cannot hide her grin as she tells her dad
Speaker 3: she's not sleepy. Danny doesn't believe this and hops into
Speaker 3: hops her into bed like a bunny. Jesse holds up
Speaker 3: a sailor dress that he picked from Michelle's closet and
Speaker 3: asks isn't this a pretty dress? And Joey sarcastically answers, yeah,
Speaker 3: I think you need that in a husky. Is he
Speaker 3: referring to the size? Is this a other size?
Speaker 2: So when so so larger sizes, particularly for kids, if
Speaker 2: you had to go like bigger than a large you
Speaker 2: were a husky, that was like what it was called.
Speaker 2: It was not exactly uh great, you know, to be like,
Speaker 2: oh yeah a husky said yeah, so that was yeah.
Speaker 3: That's what the phrase was.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: I was just like, that's okay.
Speaker 2: I knew what.
Speaker 3: I figured out what he was trying to say, but
Speaker 3: I was like, that's a weird phrase.
Speaker 2: But now that yeah, you don't not like my dog
Speaker 2: not a house like that?
Speaker 1: Ye, No, definitely not.
Speaker 3: Although she is a she's she's big, she's she's a dog.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 3: So Michelle pushes her blankets off of her and tells
Speaker 3: the adults that it's time for her to go to
Speaker 3: school now. Becky reminds her that preschool doesn't start until
Speaker 3: tomorrow morning. Michelle responds, you could come too, I need
Speaker 3: a ride. Joey suggests that they tell her a bedtime
Speaker 3: story about her first day at preschool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because there's four adults in here.
Speaker 2: How many They're like, we should mellow her out by
Speaker 2: all four of us being in here, and.
Speaker 3: Why why the child is adults to put her to bed?
Speaker 3: Normally she's alone in her room, right, and all of
Speaker 3: a sudden, nobody, nobody wants to leave. Right, they're her
Speaker 3: compensating for their neglect earlier in the season. Yeah, I
Speaker 3: just saw her go.
Speaker 2: She's hopped onto the Oh. She's bored. She's very bored.
Speaker 3: With this podcast. So Joey starts off by introducing the
Speaker 3: beautiful princess who's going to Meadowcrest Preschool. He asks Michelle
Speaker 3: what the princess's name is, and she proudly states miss Piggy.
Speaker 1: Good choice.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Joey corrects her, it's actually Princess Michelle, who's going
Speaker 3: to preschool for the first time. He motions for Becky
Speaker 3: to continue the story, and she reveals that the princess
Speaker 3: found preschool to be a land of fun. It's like
Speaker 3: Disneyland with a nap. The princess makes new friends and
Speaker 3: they all play with toys. Danny adds that the children
Speaker 3: all cleaned up the mess they made, and Joey gives
Speaker 3: him a look and Danny concludes, then Princess Michelle said,
Speaker 3: my first day of preschool was the most wonderful day
Speaker 3: of my life.
Speaker 2: Wow. That's I mean, I hope, I hope that that's
Speaker 2: not the most wonderful day of her life. I mean,
Speaker 2: I hope that there's other ones that are better.
Speaker 3: I just can't get Princess Michelle, Princess for a Day,
Speaker 3: the Walt Disney episode.
Speaker 2: Out of my brain, right. Yeah, I'm like, this is
Speaker 2: the first.
Speaker 3: Of many references to Princess Michelle. We're definitely getting more
Speaker 3: Michelle centric. Yes, as we get deeper into the That's
Speaker 3: why all the adults are in the room, because the
Speaker 3: everything revolves around Michelle.
Speaker 2: Well maybe they're also like, hey, I need to talk
Speaker 2: to you. You know, I need some advice, you know.
Speaker 2: So they're all trying to get right. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: they're all bad. I need I need some life advice. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Perfect. So Michelle looks at him in pure awe, muttering
Speaker 3: the words awesome. Danny picks her up, tucks her back
Speaker 3: into bed, and all of the adults take turns kissing
Speaker 3: her good night like a wedding receiving line. Once they're
Speaker 3: all out of the room, and the lights are off.
Speaker 3: Michelle shoots out of bed again. She looks around and declares,
Speaker 3: I can't sleep. This is nuts. I feel like this
Speaker 3: is nuts.
Speaker 2: Really was applicable there, but we're just kind of shoehorning
Speaker 2: it into wherever.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she says it multiple times.
Speaker 2: Now there.
Speaker 3: The writers have leaned hard into this catchphrase. They're like,
Speaker 3: this will be a catchphrase whether whether whether.
Speaker 1: You like it or not.
Speaker 2: Yeah you will. This is nuts. This rights Yeah, this
Speaker 2: is nuts.
Speaker 3: This is nuts. And what's to come is even even
Speaker 3: more nuts.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you guys, buckle buckle up.
Speaker 3: Later that night, Michelle is sleeping and she has a
Speaker 3: huge face. She has a huge shit, have a huge
Speaker 3: face at some point in this scene. Actually, you're right,
Speaker 3: So we enter this bizarre dream sequence. Oh boy, horrify.
Speaker 2: What is happen? I mean, like, what was so creepy?
Speaker 2: I'm sorry leap that out. It was so weird and
Speaker 2: you could tell that not one adult in that scene
Speaker 2: wanted to be there.
Speaker 1: Right where you're like, oh, I have to do that.
Speaker 2: John particularly was just not was for for John who
Speaker 2: usually is like oh he.
Speaker 1: Said, he was like, I'm not I am not a cowboy.
Speaker 3: He didn't want to play Nope. How did Jeff get
Speaker 3: them to do that? That's what I want to know, adults,
Speaker 3: he got them to do that? Silly and I yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm shocked.
Speaker 1: Contract for you.
Speaker 2: Sorry, it's all my sense is lost now because.
Speaker 3: This I wrote down, What kind of acid trip did
Speaker 3: I just watch?
Speaker 1: Like exactly?
Speaker 2: I was like those things in the background, was the
Speaker 2: those animals?
Speaker 1: What worthy the stuff of nightmares?
Speaker 2: Nightmares?
Speaker 1: They got those.
Speaker 2: Weird animals from the same place they got those clowns
Speaker 2: for Michelle's birthday, from the horror Nightmare Department. They need
Speaker 2: to find another rental place because this stuff is scary.
Speaker 3: I just didn't understand the point, Like what this episode
Speaker 3: would have been fine, perhaps better without the dream sequence.
Speaker 3: What was the point of this filler filler filler or.
Speaker 2: Maybe I don't know, maybe there maybe the writers were
Speaker 2: pissed at them. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Like it was bad.
Speaker 3: It was it was really bad. I don't even know
Speaker 3: if I wanted you.
Speaker 2: Guys, if you can't, if you don't remember what we're
Speaker 2: talking about, or you haven't watched it in a while,
Speaker 2: pause the podcast, now, go back watch the dream sequence.
Speaker 2: In season three, episode sixteen, and then come back to
Speaker 2: the podcast and you will know why we are so terrified, Okay, terrifying, terrifying.
Speaker 2: I literally he had nightmares last night. Suh. I uh yeah.
Speaker 3: I couldn't figure out if they were supposed to be toys,
Speaker 3: and that's why Michelle appears larger than them or like
Speaker 3: the scale was really weird too. When she comes out
Speaker 3: in her her Glinda dress, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I'm like, are they toys? Are they friends? They were
Speaker 2: trying to make it like the adults were kids size,
Speaker 2: but Michelle was so much larger than them. It was
Speaker 2: like it was like Godzilla or something coming out. I
Speaker 2: was like, oh my, oh, Michelle's gonna crush all the
Speaker 2: little weird animals, which I wasn't too disappointed by, but
Speaker 2: I was actually more disappointed that it didn't happen. But man,
Speaker 2: was that weird that I I have. I have been
Speaker 2: in a lot of altered states in my life, but
Speaker 2: never won that strange thank god, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: I don't know how I'd come back from that. No,
Speaker 3: there's no recovery. There's no recovery from that. I'm scarred
Speaker 3: from watching it and don't.
Speaker 2: And now we're gonna and now we're gonna describe it,
Speaker 2: you guys, But we just had to get that the
Speaker 2: horror and the shock out of the way first, and
Speaker 2: now now we're going to talk about exactly what was
Speaker 2: so terrifying about it other than everything.
Speaker 3: Okay, So first we see Becky in a sailor dress
Speaker 3: similar to the one Jesse picked out a few minutes ago.
Speaker 3: Her hair's in two pigtails, and she's got those freckles
Speaker 3: like drawing.
Speaker 2: She looks like Edith Ann who was played by Lily
Speaker 2: Tomlin years ago on laughing those you probably don't remember
Speaker 2: a lot of Yeah, anyway, that's what it looked like.
Speaker 3: So she's counting to one hundred, but not in the
Speaker 3: correct order. She looks around for a moment and is
Speaker 3: stumped when she can't find where the others are hiding.
Speaker 3: Danny pops out from behind a mushroom and reveals himself.
Speaker 3: When Becky finds him, he lets out an awe. Nuts again.
Speaker 3: Then Joey pops up from behind a group of circus
Speaker 3: animals and let's out a big laugh.
Speaker 2: Like I know. This is the too bad.
Speaker 3: This isn't a visual podcast because you can see the absolutely.
Speaker 2: No, thank god, it's not can't do people's it's just
Speaker 2: how rude you know, we can't.
Speaker 3: So that leaves just one person. Jesse pops his head
Speaker 3: out from behind the life size fairy tale book and
Speaker 3: proudly states, ha ha, you didn't find cowboy Jesse?
Speaker 2: Was it proudly or was it it felt a little
Speaker 2: under drest if he asked me, It felt a little
Speaker 2: like he was like ah haha, yeah, Like he was like,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna eat you want me to wear this costume?
Speaker 2: It was like like at some point during that day
Speaker 2: of shooting, I feel like he turned to Jeff and
Speaker 2: was like, I'm gonna meet you out in the parking
Speaker 2: lot after this.
Speaker 1: This is ridiculous.
Speaker 3: We got to talk about it next time we see
Speaker 3: Jeff for any of these four adults, Like, we're gonna
Speaker 3: be liked.
Speaker 2: What how much.
Speaker 3: Protesting did you put up? And why did you end
Speaker 3: up doing it? I don't I don't know.
Speaker 2: But okay.
Speaker 3: So, so Jesse's in a cowboy costume, Danny's in a
Speaker 3: little boy outfit, and Joey is wearing a stuffed horse
Speaker 3: around his torso I don't even know. He's just a
Speaker 3: boy riding a horse. I don't even know what the
Speaker 3: point of this is. I don't know that there is one.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think they were like, what's the weirdest thing
Speaker 2: we can do.
Speaker 3: It's like it's like an Alice in Wonderland meets Disneyland
Speaker 3: meets toy story.
Speaker 2: It's more like did you ever see Return to Oz
Speaker 2: with the Wheelers and the witch takes her head off?
Speaker 2: It's more like that. It's more like one of those
Speaker 2: things that you watch and you go, that was scary.
Speaker 2: It's yeah, what did I just watch? Yeah?
Speaker 3: So Becky announces that the Princess is coming, and Michelle,
Speaker 3: who's dressed in a princess costume and has been made
Speaker 3: much larger by some very bad special effects, waves to everyone.
Speaker 2: Hi people, well, so, she says, high people. So I
Speaker 2: don't think they're toys? Are they just imaginary friends?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to apploy logic today.
Speaker 1: Don't don't, don't. There is no logic.
Speaker 2: There's nothing.
Speaker 1: Nothing makes sense here.
Speaker 2: Nothing.
Speaker 3: So Danny admires you're the prettiest princess in all the land,
Speaker 3: and she responds with the thumbs up.
Speaker 2: You got it, dude.
Speaker 1: That doesn't make sense.
Speaker 2: That is not the response that you would give to
Speaker 2: your the prettiest princess in all the land. You got it, dude.
Speaker 2: What that doesn't you'd be like, thank you, you got it, dude.
Speaker 2: That just I was like, oh my god, the catch
Speaker 2: phrases and that they Yeah, it was everything. It's like everything,
Speaker 2: like three minutes, throw everything at the script and see
Speaker 2: what sticks.
Speaker 3: And none of it stuck. But uh yeah, and what
Speaker 3: why are the writers so hell bent on making her
Speaker 3: prince princess Michelle princess, this princess that it's like because she's.
Speaker 1: The baby of the family.
Speaker 2: I guess, I don't know, I guess, but this is
Speaker 2: her first day of preschool.
Speaker 3: Talk about how smart she is or how many things
Speaker 3: she's going to learn, or how many friends she's gonna make,
Speaker 3: Not like you're a princess and deserve all of the
Speaker 3: best treatment in the land and.
Speaker 2: All that's that is.
Speaker 3: It's they're setting up for later seasons.
Speaker 1: I yes, exactly, I mean I don't. Yeah, we're not.
Speaker 3: It's that's just kind of that's it's just the beginning.
Speaker 3: So Michelle responds, I like that song, sing it again.
Speaker 3: And the adults, of course, do as they're told and
Speaker 3: chant again in unison the dream. Thank god, it slowly
Speaker 3: starts to fade out while the chanting continues, and we
Speaker 3: fade out.
Speaker 1: In my mind, it's still very clear.
Speaker 3: Michelle is still repeating this from her bed in real time. Yay, Yay,
Speaker 3: Princess Michelle. Her eyes shoot open and she shouts, I
Speaker 3: love preschool. I'm going now. She climbs out of bed
Speaker 3: and stands there stumped, realizing I need a car. And
Speaker 3: that's thankfully the end of that. That tortuous, tortuous, that
Speaker 3: was brilliant.
Speaker 2: I knew the second I was like, oh wait, a
Speaker 2: Michelle dream sequence.
Speaker 3: I've never seen that. I had never seen this episode before,
Speaker 3: so I was legitimately horrified.
Speaker 2: I was like, have you dremped the shark? I would
Speaker 2: have preferred if a shark came and ate everybody in
Speaker 2: that scene, just put us all out of our misery.
Speaker 2: Speaking of there's a change. Do you hear the chains
Speaker 2: on now? It's it's like, uh, it's like there's a
Speaker 2: horror movie in my back.
Speaker 3: I banging, So yeah, okay, right, they can't hear him
Speaker 3: over here, thinks, So sorry, Manny, our editor is gonna
Speaker 3: have a field day with with this episode, so thankfully.
Speaker 3: We're now in the living room where stephan DJ are
Speaker 3: hurrying down the stairs, and Stephanie stops DJ and asks,
Speaker 3: why are you going to school so early? DJ doesn't
Speaker 3: give her a clear answer because she's hiding something in
Speaker 3: those shoulder pads.
Speaker 2: My god, fashion like it's the should They were gigantic,
Speaker 2: gi giantic shoulder pads on it like a on like
Speaker 2: a T shirt, wasn't it. It was more like a
Speaker 2: blouse sort of thing, but it was. I was like,
Speaker 2: she's is she going to play football? She's like a lineback.
Speaker 1: She's like, that's what goings early? We have practice before school.
Speaker 3: Well, the color palettes are just they're so early nineties. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I just I do I do love.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, she's hiding something, Yeah, several layers of builder pads.
Speaker 3: So Stephanie is now in full detective mode trying to
Speaker 3: figure out what the secret is. Are you meeting someone?
Speaker 3: Is it Kevin? Is it Kimmy? Is it Kathy? Is
Speaker 3: it anyone who starts with a K.
Speaker 1: I never realized how many k names they were there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't either until this moment. So DJ decides
Speaker 3: to give her something that starts with a k keep
Speaker 3: your nose out of my business. Steph gaffs how rude
Speaker 3: and stomps away. Right, the catchphrases are already out of control.
Speaker 3: We are only like two seams into the two scenes
Speaker 3: in and we got seventeen of them. Yeah, I mean again,
Speaker 3: we are very clear on what full house was, right, right?
Speaker 2: So uh?
Speaker 3: In the kitchen, Michelle, who is wearing her sailor dress backwards,
Speaker 3: is carrying a full retisserie chicken from the fridge to
Speaker 3: her giant lunch bag.
Speaker 2: I'm sure it wasn't cold fried chicken. Yeah, why wasn't
Speaker 2: it Jesse's cold fried chicken. This was just a nod,
Speaker 2: a nod to it. Well, it's funnier if you have
Speaker 2: an entire yeah, a small oh, that's chicken.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's funny because you have a small person carrying, right,
Speaker 3: what is to her a large chicken. So she's packing
Speaker 3: her lunch with other items such as tomatoes and one
Speaker 3: big head of lettuce. DJ asks asks, or what are
Speaker 3: you doing? And Michelle says she's packing her lunch for preschool.
Speaker 3: DJ shows her that her dress is on backwards and
Speaker 3: asks if she dressed herself this morning. Michelle nods yes,
Speaker 3: I did, and DJ asks if she looked at herself
Speaker 3: in the mirror and thought she looked good. Michelle states, yes,
Speaker 3: I did. So DJ gives her a fashion tip, walk
Speaker 3: backwards and maybe no one will notice. Michelle responds, that's
Speaker 3: easy and begins to drag her lunch bag walking backwards,
Speaker 3: and she says, see you later, and we're out of
Speaker 3: that scene.
Speaker 2: She's very independent.
Speaker 3: She's learned I can't depend on these adults for anything
Speaker 3: except for creepy dream sequences and or bear stories at bedtime.
Speaker 1: Right. Other than that, she's on her own.
Speaker 3: Son's got to dress herself, make her own lunch Friday
Speaker 3: to preschool. Yeah, she's very resilient for, you know, a
Speaker 3: child of the nineties. So next we are in stephan
Speaker 3: DJ's room. Commet is lying on Steff's bed and she
Speaker 3: tells him, I think our friend DJ is up to something.
Speaker 3: So she decides to stroll over to DJ's secret hiding
Speaker 3: place and take a peek at her diary just for fun.
Speaker 3: She retrieves the diary and reads the note that's paid
Speaker 3: stood on the front. It's meant for Steph and threatens
Speaker 3: that if she reads the diary, she will be living
Speaker 3: in the backyard.
Speaker 2: Okay, so DJ's onto your tricks here. Oh yeah. Steph
Speaker 2: realizes there must be something really.
Speaker 3: Juicy in there, so she steps onto the bed so
Speaker 3: she can reach the key that is hiding in its
Speaker 3: hiding spot under Melvin the turtle's derby, which I guess
Speaker 3: is a hat. I don't know this, yeah, like the
Speaker 3: like the brown derby, the little brown that's a derby hat. Okay, yeah, Melvin.
Speaker 3: It's crazy that he has a name like there's we
Speaker 3: could have done the pillow person. We could have done
Speaker 3: mister bear. But now Melvin is well Melvin. Yeah, yeah, okay,
Speaker 3: So she takes the derby off of the stuffed animal,
Speaker 3: but there's no key. She can't believe.
Speaker 2: Sorry, my dog is what? What the what? Time for?
Speaker 2: She's like this time for commercial break? Yeah? Hold on?
Speaker 2: Did she need a potty or a true what she needs? No,
Speaker 2: she's bored.
Speaker 3: Come on, don't mind this momentary five minute break. Let's
Speaker 3: go to commercial. I could keep going, we can. I
Speaker 3: don't know.
Speaker 2: It's just like I said, gets a circus like she had.
Speaker 1: Yes, I can't even go'll be.
Speaker 2: On the planets. I don't know.
Speaker 3: Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do again, and
Speaker 3: I've got podcasting to do right, right, this is more
Speaker 3: important than the dog's bathroom needs. She can take care
Speaker 3: of herself, just like the shell.
Speaker 2: Uh, she's gonna go drag a vertisty chicken out of
Speaker 2: the fridge table for sure. Oh man, that would make
Speaker 2: her whole day.
Speaker 3: So the Stephanie's determined to figure out another way to
Speaker 3: open this diary. She tries to pull the lock off,
Speaker 3: but instead she breaks it.
Speaker 2: Hold on, Sorry, my dog is barking incessantly, so I
Speaker 2: think there, and I keep getting phone calls.
Speaker 1: There's probably more shit being delivered to my house.
Speaker 2: And I don't know it, and no one's home. We'll
Speaker 2: take another five. Hold on a second, okay, And now
Speaker 2: it's all the all the giant pots and some trees
Speaker 2: and yeah, and he was in my backyard, so like,
Speaker 2: oh the dog went out and oh yeah, that's it.
Speaker 2: She's your guard dog. She's gonna protect you, eat somebody. Yeah,
Speaker 2: thank you, dog, I appreciate you, not really, Okay.
Speaker 3: So cute.
Speaker 2: She's our studio audience today. Okay, all right, so cute.
Speaker 2: He's too good.
Speaker 3: You need a minute?
Speaker 2: Do you need a potty break? Coffee break? No, we're
Speaker 2: gonna be here. We're plowing, We're plowing ahead.
Speaker 3: Okay, so you've just broken the lock off of the
Speaker 3: diary and you're panicking when suddenly there's a knock on
Speaker 3: the door and Stephanie quickly chucks the tierye under the bed.
Speaker 3: Uncle Jesse walks in, asking Steff if she's ready, and
Speaker 3: steph asks where they're going, and Jesse sarcastically says, uh, school,
Speaker 3: and Stephanie gives a big laugh.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's right, I go there.
Speaker 3: I'm like, why is Stephanie home? Like everyone else is
Speaker 3: going to school? Like why are you?
Speaker 2: Because no one is ever in a rush to get
Speaker 2: out door in a sitcom house, because everyone must get
Speaker 2: up at five am obviously to prep a gigantic breakfast
Speaker 2: and uh be completely done, hair ready and everything. When
Speaker 2: you just appear out of your room, yeah, without a
Speaker 2: parent being like can you put your pants on? Yeah?
Speaker 3: This is not real life. Yeah, normally there's they're screaming there.
Speaker 2: Camp my shoes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're like, come on, we're in the car.
Speaker 2: The car's running, Yeah, you're honking, and the.
Speaker 1: Kids like, I wait, my socks?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 3: This Yeah, this is so not true to life.
Speaker 2: At all.
Speaker 3: So Comet then hops onto the bed with the diary
Speaker 3: in his mouth. Jesse walks over to the dog and
Speaker 3: grabs the diary out of his mouth, realizing it's DJs.
Speaker 3: He hands it to Stuff and tells her to put
Speaker 3: it back in the secret hiding place, and he believes
Speaker 3: it's in the pillowcase this week. Steph nods, telling him
Speaker 3: he's right. She goes to put the diary back and
Speaker 3: scolds Commet for being a rascal. Wow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that dog under the bus, it's I mean, you're
Speaker 2: very Steph's very cunning. She's just like, oh, here's the
Speaker 2: opportunity on it. You know, don't think there's being a
Speaker 2: little rascal there, because now I can't read it. If
Speaker 2: you chew it up, you know, I can't get the info. Okay, Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's why she was going on a rascal.
Speaker 3: Okay, So she's not like, Okay, I thought I assumed
Speaker 3: she was like blaming the fact that Comet she's accusing
Speaker 3: Commed of digging through DJ's pillows.
Speaker 2: But I'm also but I'm also I'm telling myself that
Speaker 2: Steph that that's what it was, was that Steph was
Speaker 2: upset that you know, she was like oh, you a
Speaker 2: little rascal, But really she meant it because like you
Speaker 2: were going to chew up things. Now I can't read it.
Speaker 3: She needs her intel and yeah, Commet is ruining them.
Speaker 3: So now we're in the preschool set. Michelle is eagerly
Speaker 3: leading her dad through the hallway of her new school.
Speaker 3: She's urging him come on. She tries to pull him
Speaker 3: in the classroom, but he's too busy being sentimental with no.
Speaker 1: Other parents around. No, no, Michelle is a.
Speaker 3: Mid year replacement, like she's just joining this. It's not
Speaker 3: the first day of school. First's strolling in late. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 3: wouldn't the parents be there? You remember preschool drop off
Speaker 3: school that everyone's there and you know, yeah, no that is.
Speaker 1: But that wouldn't that wouldn't make for a special moment.
Speaker 3: So true, true. So Danny tells Michelle don't worry, she's
Speaker 3: going to have fun and make new friends. When he
Speaker 3: won't budge, she finally just says by daddy and walks
Speaker 3: herself into the classroom. Danny rushes in behind her, and
Speaker 3: now we're in this colorful classroom filled with a bunch
Speaker 3: of toddlers. Danny spots Michelle's new teacher, Miss Petrie and
Speaker 3: says hi. The teacher makes her way over to Michelle
Speaker 3: and shakes her hand, saying nice to meet you. Then
Speaker 3: Miss Petrie asks her students to greet Michelle, so the
Speaker 3: toddlers say in unison, Hi Michelle. Michelle smiles and waves
Speaker 3: high people, and one of her fellow classmates, who's wearing
Speaker 3: a crown, walks up to her and declares, I'm the
Speaker 3: King's and thus we have Aaron. I love this kid,
Speaker 3: like he's just he's sassy, he's a good match for Michelle.
Speaker 3: He's funny, and he's the king, she's the princess.
Speaker 2: Like they're a.
Speaker 1: Perfect So maybe he'll get his own dream sequence.
Speaker 2: Please no, please no.
Speaker 3: So the teacher introduces the boy as Aaron and explains
Speaker 3: Aaron gets to wear the sharing crown because he shared
Speaker 3: his toys today. Then Aaron asks Michelle if she'd like
Speaker 3: to see Dave, who is the class pet bird. Just
Speaker 3: look at they named it Dave. Dave, I mean between
Speaker 3: Dave Coolier and like, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I like animals that have real people names, you know,
Speaker 2: but Bob had a dog named Alan. Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 3: But the bird name Dave is it's so silly. His
Speaker 3: name's David, but oh right, we're on a Dave. So yeah,
Speaker 3: we know it, you know Dave. Okay, So Aaron takes
Speaker 3: her over to the bird. They're checking out the bird.
Speaker 3: The audience aws at this cute little exchange. Danny watches
Speaker 3: them with a smile and tells Miss Petrie that he'll
Speaker 3: just hang out there today. The teacher points out that
Speaker 3: Michelle is adjusting very quickly, but if it makes Danny
Speaker 3: feel better, he's more than welcome to stay and have
Speaker 3: juice and cookies with them. Like, Danny, Danny's your third child,
Speaker 3: Like just just go go home and enjoy the silence.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah.
Speaker 2: Most of the time by parents that I've seen that,
Speaker 2: by the time they get to the third kid, they're
Speaker 2: like it's you know, just tuck and roll out of
Speaker 2: the car. It's like, yeah, you can't get them into
Speaker 2: preschool fasten us, right the third kid.
Speaker 3: You're like whoo. So Danny first decides he's going to
Speaker 3: check with Michelle because he can't make any sort of
Speaker 3: adult decision without her permission for obviously.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, he's like do you yeah, you you know,
Speaker 1: can I leave?
Speaker 2: Is that okay? Right?
Speaker 3: He needs Michelle to comfort him because he's having trouble leaving, right,
Speaker 3: That's what it is, right. Uh, So he says, he
Speaker 3: says to her, would you like me to stay? And
Speaker 3: Michelle's like, no, no, no, I'm a big girl.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Bye, listen to your therapist, Danny. She's telling you, yeah,
Speaker 2: your therapist would would tell you to go home, and
Speaker 2: she is yeah.
Speaker 3: So Danny asks Miss Petrie what he's supposed to do
Speaker 3: now he's cleared his whole day for this. Then he
Speaker 3: realizes that's really not the teacher's problem, and she agrees
Speaker 3: and says they'll see him in a couple hours. Get
Speaker 3: the hint, get the hint in the room, Get out
Speaker 3: of there, dah, Danny, Dan just has no social awareness.
Speaker 3: He doesn't, This whole episode has no social awareness. He
Speaker 3: exits with saying, oh, I can wax the kitchen floor,
Speaker 3: all right, And he exits with that closing line, which
Speaker 3: is just so very Danny. Yeah. Finally, Miss Petrie closes
Speaker 3: the door and tells her students to gather on the
Speaker 3: magic carpet for story time. All of the students gather,
Speaker 3: besides Michelle, who's preoccupied with Dave the Bird. Miss Petrie
Speaker 3: is about to begin. So Michelle tells Dave, come on,
Speaker 3: it's story time. She unlocks his bird cage, and he
Speaker 3: immediately flies out the window while Michelle watches in shock. Well,
Speaker 3: what did you think was gonna happen? There's an open window,
Speaker 3: there's a toddler, and there's a knot.
Speaker 2: Would you have a preschool with an open window and
Speaker 2: a bunch of toddlers running around? There would be toddlers
Speaker 2: crawling out that window, right, there's so many things wrong
Speaker 2: with this, And yeah, it's I don't know.
Speaker 3: The preschool I sent my kids to had a pet turtle,
Speaker 3: which I think is much better for preschoolers because they're slow,
Speaker 3: they don't die anywhere. It was that amphibian right, like
Speaker 3: a turtle in there. But then the joke has to work.
Speaker 3: So Aaron turtle flew out the window. That would really
Speaker 3: be that'd be cool, it would It would make more
Speaker 3: sense than that dream sequence that right, I'd prefer that. Yeah, please,
Speaker 3: So Aaron watched this whole thing go down and he
Speaker 3: alerts the teacher to Dave's disappearance.
Speaker 2: Snitch points to Michelle and says, she did it, cap.
Speaker 1: Just tattletoe, give me that crown.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's but I know he's such a little snit,
Speaker 2: but I love him.
Speaker 3: He's so great. So Miss Petrie tells him it was
Speaker 3: just an accident. Michelle didn't do it on purpose. But
Speaker 3: Michelle frowns and says, I'm sorry. I'm a bad girl,
Speaker 3: and Aaron chimes in says, yes, a very bad girl.
Speaker 2: Michelle just repeats after.
Speaker 3: Him, I'm a very bad girl, and she hives her
Speaker 3: head as the violins play.
Speaker 2: Okay, this child, this child has some issues. She's really
Speaker 2: taking on a lot of shame.
Speaker 3: Yeah, necessarily, Uh, I don't know what, but this was
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, this was an abrupt switch. She
Speaker 3: went from I don't need you Dad, get out of
Speaker 3: here too, I'm a very bad girl girl and just.
Speaker 2: Devastated, absolutely devastated. Yeah, and Aaron needs to settle down,
Speaker 2: all right, Aaron, Aaron, focus on your crown.
Speaker 3: Eric.
Speaker 2: Ye, stop being to everybody else's business.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So, later that day, in the backyard, Michelle is
Speaker 3: holding a loaf of bread as she screams at the sky, Dave,
Speaker 3: where are you. She throws a slice of bread into
Speaker 3: the air and it lands by her feet, where there's
Speaker 3: other slices of bread scattered around the guys are standing
Speaker 3: to the side watching her, and Danny tells Joey and
Speaker 3: Jesse that they should have seen Michelle at pre school today.
Speaker 3: None of the other kids would play with her. She
Speaker 3: sat in a corner by herself, saying I'm a bad girl.
Speaker 2: Good lord.
Speaker 3: The trauma, right, the trauma of this.
Speaker 2: I'd be like, what is wrong all these other kids,
Speaker 2: first of all, for a class from a preschool used
Speaker 2: to hold onto something all day like that. They'd be like, anyway.
Speaker 3: Next, Yeah, now their attention span isn't quite that long.
Speaker 3: My god, this feels it's like a it's some sort
Speaker 3: of like a.
Speaker 1: Like I don't even know what it.
Speaker 2: Punishment. It's not just sit in the corner.
Speaker 1: It's she's we're going to ignore you, don't exist, but.
Speaker 2: You're comforting her.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this was the teacher needs a teacher's aid or
Speaker 3: something to come in and help with this situation.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's just sitting there.
Speaker 1: I'm a bad girl's creepy.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So Danny is distressed, telling the guys that they have
Speaker 3: to do something. He tells Jesse to come with him
Speaker 3: and asks Joey to please pick up the bread. Joey
Speaker 3: walks onto the grass does his infamous seagull call towards
Speaker 3: the sky. I don't know if we've seen this before
Speaker 3: or if I'm just so used to seeing it do
Speaker 3: it right, I'm like, I think he has done it before.
Speaker 2: But okay, I think he did, and he did one
Speaker 2: of the earlier ones.
Speaker 3: He's so bit that's right, he has done.
Speaker 2: But yeah, Dave would make that bird noise all the time.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I loved it. So the two of them
Speaker 3: continue to throw bread all over the ground with the
Speaker 3: hopes that Dave will appear. That's no ways, Dave the bird.
Speaker 3: Uh So, Now in DJ and Stuff's room, Stephanie is
Speaker 3: gluing the lock back onto DJ's diary. She decides that
Speaker 3: should do it, and then picks up the diary, only
Speaker 3: to reveal that her palm.
Speaker 2: Is stuck to it.
Speaker 3: She tries to shake it off, but it won't budge.
Speaker 3: She says, how they should they should put a warning
Speaker 3: on this glue, and she picks up the bottle and realizes,
Speaker 3: oh they did Okay.
Speaker 2: How did they do this?
Speaker 3: Did like were you just holding onto it or did
Speaker 3: they have it?
Speaker 2: Was? It was like there was like a sticky thing
Speaker 2: on it and it was to my palm. You know,
Speaker 2: I couldn't like really shake it or it would probably
Speaker 2: come flying off. But I was stuck there, you know,
Speaker 2: well enough there was enough stickage to make it look
Speaker 2: really it actually puts some like snot tape on it.
Speaker 2: Snot tape is not actual snot. It is just a
Speaker 2: really sticky thing that they use on set to like
Speaker 2: stick things down. So yeah, it worked great, very believable.
Speaker 3: So DJ walks in and says hi to Stephanie, asking
Speaker 3: what's going on. Steph tries to shield the diary as
Speaker 3: she swiftly walks to her bed, telling DJ nothing's going
Speaker 3: on at all. She hides her diary glued hand underneath
Speaker 3: a pillow and poses nonchalantly. It's very obvious nothing's going on.
Speaker 2: Of course, I feel like whenever you try and be nonchalant,
Speaker 2: you are the most chalant you've ever been.
Speaker 3: Lots of chalant not happening here. DJ responds, well, I
Speaker 3: was thinking we never hang out like we used to,
Speaker 3: So do you want to go to the mall with me?
Speaker 3: Poor Stephanie can't hide her excitement. This is cool, this
Speaker 3: is rad, this is and she realizes her predicament and states,
Speaker 3: a really bad time. She tells DJ, I am bushed
Speaker 3: and pretends to fall asleep or Steph like she finally
Speaker 3: got her sister's attention and she's stug with a diary
Speaker 3: on her hand for thing. So then Joey walks in.
Speaker 3: He tells the girls he's taking Michelle for ice cream
Speaker 3: and asks who.
Speaker 2: Wants to come, right?
Speaker 1: And then we're going to Disneyland, right, He's just I've
Speaker 1: never gone to.
Speaker 2: Visit a long time to do this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Steph eagerly shouts, I do, and then she glances
Speaker 3: at her hand a hand and says at her hand,
Speaker 3: she glances at her hound, at her hand, who really
Speaker 3: was responsible for this in the first place? For chewing eight?
Speaker 2: It's yes.
Speaker 3: It all comes back to comment. So DJ thanks Joey
Speaker 3: for the offer, but tells him she's going to the mall,
Speaker 3: and she also warns him that Stephanie is acting very strange,
Speaker 3: even for her, and she leaves the room. Joey walks
Speaker 3: over to Steph with a smirk on his face. He
Speaker 3: asks what she's hiding under the pillow. She removes the
Speaker 3: pillow and her hand and shows him that she isn't
Speaker 3: hiding anything, but he removes the pillow to reveal DJ's diary,
Speaker 3: which is still stuck to Stephanie's hand. He tries to
Speaker 3: take the diary from her, but Steph is unable to
Speaker 3: let it go. She gives him an unconvincing giggle and
Speaker 3: he puts two and two together. Joey gives her a
Speaker 3: giggle right back and enthusiastically states, you're in big trouble.
Speaker 2: Thanks for stating the obvious, Joey. Yeah, wait to be helpful, Well,
Speaker 2: you've got to cut to commercial on something. Yeah, it's true,
Speaker 2: that's true.
Speaker 3: So in Michelle's room, Michelle is talking to her stuffed
Speaker 3: animal parrot, telling him to fly away and go find Dave.
Speaker 3: She throws him off the bed and he lands on
Speaker 3: the floor with a thud, and she sighs, you're no help.
Speaker 3: Danny and Jesse walk in, and Jesse reveals we got
Speaker 3: you a new birdie friend. They show Michelle the little
Speaker 3: parrot perched in the cage, but Michelle is not impressed.
Speaker 3: That's not Dave, she says, matter of factly. Jesse tells
Speaker 3: her that no, this is Sammy, and he asks Michelle
Speaker 3: to say hi to Sammy. She obliges, Hi, Sammy, where's Dave?
Speaker 3: She's got one track mind like hers. It was Howie,
Speaker 3: now it's Dave.
Speaker 2: Like she just wants to know where. Where's many? Where's Dave?
Speaker 1: Where's Howie?
Speaker 2: Where? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Danny assures her that all the kids will love Sammy
Speaker 3: when she brings him to preschool tomorrow, but Michelle argues,
Speaker 3: I'm not going to pre school. Danny tells her that
Speaker 3: she is, and Michelle pouts, no way, Jose, No one
Speaker 3: likes me. Another shoehorned, another shoe et. All the catch
Speaker 3: phrases like all of them are in there. It was
Speaker 3: the early nineties. So she hops off her bed and
Speaker 3: begins to leave, but Jesse stops her. He crouches down
Speaker 3: and reminds her that they love her very much, and
Speaker 3: if she doesn't want to go to preschool, she doesn't
Speaker 3: have to go to preschool. And Michelle cheered yay, thank
Speaker 3: you and gives him a kiss and runs away.
Speaker 2: Say no more school? What? No, this is terrible parenting.
Speaker 3: You don't tell them, Oh you don't want to go,
Speaker 3: you don't have to go, Jesse, Come on now. So
Speaker 3: Jesse pulls up a chair and proudly tells Danny that
Speaker 3: the problem is solved. Danny flatly tells him no problem
Speaker 3: made worse, Michelle has to go to preschool. Jesse questions
Speaker 3: why they would make her do that when the kids
Speaker 3: don't like her. Danny reminds him that they can't be
Speaker 3: by her side twenty four hours a day just to
Speaker 3: stop every bad thing that might happen. They need to
Speaker 3: help her get through it, not run away from it. Now.
Speaker 2: See this struck me as odd because just a couple
Speaker 2: scenes ago, Danny was the one that was like, I
Speaker 2: need to stay I need to stay right. It felt
Speaker 2: like a very like I don't know, I feels like
Speaker 2: or can't be.
Speaker 3: By her side twenty four hours a day. Well, that's
Speaker 3: what you were trying to do.
Speaker 2: It was like that's what, Yeah, that How did you
Speaker 2: come to that conclusion? I don't know, like within a
Speaker 2: couple hours when you were just you know, it just
Speaker 2: felt it felt weird. It felt like somebody else should
Speaker 2: have said that to Danny, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: It felt like they should have switched. They should have
Speaker 2: switched right that Jesse should have that. Danny should have
Speaker 2: been like, Okay, you don't have to go, and Jesse
Speaker 2: would have been like, come on, man, you can't, Like yeah.
Speaker 3: You know, that's exactly they should have switched the roles here,
Speaker 3: and because that would have been more better continuity for
Speaker 3: Danny's character in this episode where he's calling your princess,
Speaker 3: he's building this up. He just wants her to be happy,
Speaker 3: and he's too emotionally connected at this point.
Speaker 2: But yeah, no, I completely agree.
Speaker 3: So Jesse, however, pushes Danny's comments aside, telling him he
Speaker 3: knows what Michelle is going through. In kindergarten, he was
Speaker 3: the goldfish monitor. Part of his job was to take
Speaker 3: the goldfish home on the weekends, and he learned a
Speaker 3: very important lesson when taking a goldfish home, take the
Speaker 3: bowl with you. But Jesse's parents made him go back
Speaker 3: to school after it happened, and all the kids teased him,
Speaker 3: calling him fish hater. Danny asks how long that went
Speaker 3: on for, and Jesse realizes it only went on until
Speaker 3: Show and Tell, and then luckily Barry Fox brought his
Speaker 3: toenail collection, so the kids turned on him. I mean
Speaker 3: this these there's filler scenes inside this filler episode, Like
Speaker 3: there's no need for this level of detail.
Speaker 2: But well, yeah, yeah, I mean Jesse is obviously traumatized.
Speaker 2: He should really talk to Michelle about this, about how
Speaker 2: to get through this. That's why he wants her to
Speaker 2: stay home, says some intense sessions to work through my
Speaker 2: problem that your problem is bringing up for me. That's
Speaker 2: and now it makes sense. Now it makes sense when
Speaker 2: Jesse wants her to stay home. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah. But after this realization, he acknowledges that Danny was
Speaker 3: right and he was wrong. Michelle should go back to school.
Speaker 3: Glad we had a scene about that. I'm so glad
Speaker 3: we had a yeah, a multi page scene about that.
Speaker 3: So back in stephan DJ's room, Joey is wipe being
Speaker 3: Stephanie's now diary free hand of glue.
Speaker 2: That said dairy free by the way, really here, dairy free?
Speaker 2: Oh diary?
Speaker 3: Yeah I read it that way the first time too,
Speaker 3: and I was like, we lacto's intolerant.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I was like dairy oh right.
Speaker 3: So Stephanie admits, thanks Joey, you saved my life. He
Speaker 3: starts to give her a lecture on being careful with
Speaker 3: the permanent glue, but he manages to get his hand
Speaker 3: stuck on the diary.
Speaker 2: During the process. Of course he did. Yep.
Speaker 3: DJ walks in and witnesses Joey's hand attached to her diary.
Speaker 3: She asks what he's doing with it and rips it
Speaker 3: out of his hand quite literally.
Speaker 1: Ow, Steph gives your skin.
Speaker 3: Steph gives a weary smile and tells them it was
Speaker 3: nice seeing them again. Joey stops her, asking if there's
Speaker 3: something she'd like to say to DJ about this diary.
Speaker 3: Steph nods and begins to tell her the truth. DJ,
Speaker 3: Joey did not steal your diary. Michelle did, and Steph's
Speaker 3: just blaming everybody but herself.
Speaker 2: You know this her path.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Joey not so subtly clears his throat and Steph winces,
Speaker 3: maybe it was me, you know how I am with names.
Speaker 3: DJ asks Joey for a moment alone with her nosy sister,
Speaker 3: and he gets up to leave. Stephanie begs him not
Speaker 3: to go, but Joey insists that he must. Then he
Speaker 3: accidentally puts his fingers together and they get stuck from
Speaker 3: the permanent glue. Just go wash your hands, right, Go
Speaker 3: wash your hands. DJ sits Stephanie down and prefaces I'm
Speaker 3: not going to yell at you. I'm just going to
Speaker 3: talk in a firm voice for a very long time. Now.
Speaker 3: Why are you always snooping around in my stuff? Stephanie shrugs,
Speaker 3: I can't help it. You fascinate me.
Speaker 2: DJ can study.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, she is a fast Everyone in this house
Speaker 3: is a fascinating psychological set.
Speaker 1: And Steph's like, I need to start writing this down.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: DJ starts to lecture her, but stops herself, and she
Speaker 3: smiles as she repeats, I fascinate you. Stephanie nods, of
Speaker 3: course you do. You go to school, dances, you have
Speaker 3: seven different teachers in the same day, and you carry
Speaker 3: a purse. You're a woman of the world.
Speaker 2: This is so sweet, Like that's true, making my heart melt.
Speaker 2: Stephanie loves her big. She's just like, you're so cool, right.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 3: DJ agrees that she's a woman of the world, but
Speaker 3: she still needs her privacy.
Speaker 2: She cuts.
Speaker 3: Stephan deal, if you really promise that my diary is
Speaker 3: off limits, I'll try to tell you more about my
Speaker 3: fascinating life. So Stephanie promises. She gives her sister a
Speaker 3: big hug and asks forgive me. DJ pats her head
Speaker 3: and sighs, I guess, so, She gives Steph a smirk
Speaker 3: before revealing besides, I keep my really hot stories in
Speaker 3: my journal. Stephanie's eyes eyes bold before she shouts, you
Speaker 3: have a journal?
Speaker 2: Where is it? What does it look like? And Stephanie's
Speaker 2: right back in it, right back in it. Right. That's
Speaker 2: such a sister thing, though, Oh my gosh, I oh
Speaker 2: my two used to freak out about the same stuff. Yep, yep,
Speaker 2: lack of privacy, except I wish it got resolved that
Speaker 2: quickly and nicely, you know. And they were like, all right,
Speaker 2: let's come to an agreement. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Mine were like, yeah, well you didn't have an Olsen
Speaker 3: twin there to talk talk out the party. They never
Speaker 3: solved it. Yeah, and you didn't have a toddler thing.
Speaker 2: If only I would have parentified one of the kids
Speaker 2: when they were like three, really would have worked out well.
Speaker 3: So back at the preschool, Michelle is holding Sammy the
Speaker 3: Bird as she and her dad stand outside the classroom.
Speaker 3: Sammy the Bird sounds like an old gangster from like
Speaker 3: the Prohibition era, Sammy the Bird, Sammy the Bird, Say
Speaker 3: the Bird's in San Francisco, He's on Alcatraz. Yeah, sam
Speaker 3: Sammy's seen some things, you know, He's been around the
Speaker 3: block a few times. Did I use it right?
Speaker 2: Did I? Use it right, No, I mean yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean if you wanted to call the bird a whore,
Speaker 2: yeah sure, yeah, then you used it right. Well, he's
Speaker 2: been in prison. You don't know what goes on in
Speaker 2: those things. Oh wow, wow, abrom experience. I'm just guessing
Speaker 2: just what you know. So just get back to Sammy
Speaker 2: the Bird. Yeah right, I mean, is Sammy the Bird's
Speaker 2: bird prison is in a preschool?
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, bird, poor bird.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So Michelle is still very nervous. She wants Danny to
Speaker 3: stay with her all day, and Danny promises he won't
Speaker 3: leave unless she says it's all right, and Michelle says, yeah,
Speaker 3: he's right back to a.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's no continenty here, but that's you know, this
Speaker 3: is full house.
Speaker 2: That's what we do.
Speaker 3: So Danny walks into the classroom and says hello to
Speaker 3: Miss Petrie, who has the children gathered to hear him speak.
Speaker 3: He says hello to the kids and tells them he
Speaker 3: has a talk show called Wake Up San Francisco. They
Speaker 3: aren't easily impressed by this, so he moves on, telling
Speaker 3: the kids that Michelle has brought them something to keep
Speaker 3: in the class because she likes them all.
Speaker 2: So much. I just quickly, Yeah, if he's hosting a
Speaker 2: morning show, how does he have time to drop Michelle
Speaker 2: off at preschool when presumably that would.
Speaker 1: Be the same time. Yeah, eight eight thirty, if you're
Speaker 1: doing Wake.
Speaker 2: Up San Francisco, I feel like that's it's got to
Speaker 2: be a nine am show. You don't just roll in
Speaker 2: five minutes before.
Speaker 3: And no, you got to get into her makeup, you
Speaker 3: got to go over your notes, you gotta have a
Speaker 3: producer meeting, like, yeah, there's a lot of rep time.
Speaker 3: I mean, I know he took the first day of
Speaker 3: school off to be glued to Michelle's side, but now
Speaker 3: we're on the next day or two days later. I'm
Speaker 3: not obviously a weekday piece. So maybe he took the
Speaker 3: whole week off because of the trauma. He was fine
Speaker 3: right letting Michelle go to preschool. So Danny asks Michelle
Speaker 3: to come in, and she does, carrying the new bird
Speaker 3: with her. She tells her classmates that this is Sammy
Speaker 3: and he's a nice birdie, so she's giving him to
Speaker 3: the preschool. Miss Petrie admits that that's very generous, and
Speaker 3: she asks for students to thank Michelle by clapping their
Speaker 3: hands together and they do. I'm I don't know, I'm
Speaker 3: a little bothered by this.
Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't even know where to start with.
Speaker 2: What how weird this is?
Speaker 3: This is weird because I'm like, you should replace the
Speaker 3: bird because you lost the bird. I mean, that's called
Speaker 3: a natural consequence. You don't do it to win favor
Speaker 3: with friends. Make friends like, oh, look, how great I am.
Speaker 3: I've brought a new bird. It's like, well, yeah, you're
Speaker 3: the one that opened.
Speaker 2: Maybe they should have talked to the teacher first, you know,
Speaker 2: maybe she was like, you know what, this bird's a
Speaker 2: bad idea.
Speaker 1: We've this is the fourth one we've lost this month.
Speaker 2: You know, maybe she's like, we need something that is landlocked,
Speaker 2: like that is that is a terrestrial animal?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know you need a turtle, amphibian and yeah.
Speaker 1: A bunny or I don't know, maybe close the window.
Speaker 1: That'd be the first place to start.
Speaker 3: But there's a lot of things that need to change
Speaker 3: in this classroom.
Speaker 1: Where did they find this preschool?
Speaker 3: Danny, I don't know. Danny crouches down by his daughter
Speaker 3: and points out, see, all your new friends are saying
Speaker 3: thank you very much, and Michelle tells the class welcome
Speaker 3: very much. Miss Petrie takes the new bird and places
Speaker 3: him on the stool where Day used to be so
Speaker 3: easily replaced. Yes, like Day was never there. Yeah, the
Speaker 3: whole class follows her, besides Aaron, who is still wearing
Speaker 3: this crown.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's not sharing the sharing crown. Why the crown again,
Speaker 2: doesn't deserve it doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 1: We had the crown on last time. You have to
Speaker 1: share the sharing crown.
Speaker 2: You can't get the sharing crown every day.
Speaker 3: Yeah, has no has no one shared since Aaron got
Speaker 3: the crown, Like, what's what's going on? I don't I
Speaker 3: don't know. He gets it multiple days, I guess, but
Speaker 3: he walks up to Michelle and kindly says, here, Michelle,
Speaker 3: you can wear the sharing crown, and he places it
Speaker 3: on her head before walking away. Okay, that's why. That's
Speaker 3: why he gets the sharing crown multiple days in a row.
Speaker 3: Because of this bit. This bit has tour, which was sweet.
Speaker 3: I thought it was a sweet moment. Michelle proudly shows
Speaker 3: her dad the new crown, adding I'm a princess, and
Speaker 3: Danny agrees, you're my little princess.
Speaker 2: I thought we were gonna go back the dream sequence
Speaker 2: here and I was like, no, no, no, please, yeah,
Speaker 2: can we stop calling her a princess?
Speaker 3: Like maybe this is just the twenty twenty for me
Speaker 3: thinking of this, there was girls princesses.
Speaker 2: That's not the goal. Like, you want to be smart,
Speaker 2: you want to be you want to be Joan of
Speaker 2: Arc you know what I mean? You want yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I know there's much better role models out there.
Speaker 2: But Danny, uh, you know.
Speaker 3: He says he's proud of her for being so brave
Speaker 3: and coming to preschool, and he asks, do you want
Speaker 3: me to stay.
Speaker 2: Here with you? No, we want to miss it. As Danny,
Speaker 2: you went over.
Speaker 3: This, this is deja vus. Michelle shakes her head, no,
Speaker 3: thank you. They like me now, and Danny smiles. I
Speaker 3: think you're gonna have a great time here at preschool,
Speaker 3: and Michelle nods, I like being a big girl. Danny
Speaker 3: gives her a big hug and kiss before encouraging her
Speaker 3: to go play with her new friends. Michelle walks away,
Speaker 3: and Miss Petree walks over to Danny asking if he's
Speaker 3: doing okay. Danny admits he'll be fine, but if she's
Speaker 3: ever crowned Miss America, he'll be crying like a baby.
Speaker 2: But I felt I was like, I felt like it
Speaker 2: could have again twenty twenty four me, it was like, yeah,
Speaker 2: Crown Miss America would have like you would be fine,
Speaker 2: but you know, like when she graduated, when she graduates
Speaker 2: or whatever, like that would have been because it would
Speaker 2: have made sense, like she's starting school, preschool, so yeah, so.
Speaker 3: You think of her high school graduation and that's when
Speaker 3: the parents are sobbing, like that would have been better.
Speaker 3: But oh well, huh. So we see Michelle over by
Speaker 3: the new bird cage, surrounded by her new friends. She
Speaker 3: warns them people don't open that door, remember, and that's
Speaker 3: our show.
Speaker 2: Wow?
Speaker 3: Okay, wow, So this wasn't my favorite episode. I mean,
Speaker 3: the first day of preschool is a milestone that should
Speaker 3: be acknowledged, but this was just a weird. They could
Speaker 3: have cut out so much of this and it would
Speaker 3: have been much better.
Speaker 2: I mean really, just cutting out the dream sequence would
Speaker 2: have improved it. Leaps and bounds, leaps and bounds. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm still stuck on that. I can't I can't unsee that.
Speaker 2: That's like, I like, sandpaper for your eyeballs is what
Speaker 2: you wish you had? You know, just scratched my corny
Speaker 2: right off while I saw that, Yeah, that's a never
Speaker 2: like that'll be Now every time I see like John
Speaker 2: or Dave or Laurie, I'm gonna be like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: yeah you remember them in the Yeah, and they're probably
Speaker 2: gonna be like, yo, we haven't forgotten, we remember it
Speaker 2: very clearly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh that was that was terrifying. I don't know.
Speaker 3: If this was my least favorite of this season, i'd
Speaker 3: have to go.
Speaker 2: About lust in the Dust was still pretty you like
Speaker 2: a couple episodes now Lust in the Dust and Bye
Speaker 2: Bye Berdie that are yeah hanging out.
Speaker 3: I didn't lust in the Dust, but this one was
Speaker 3: just it had potential, but it would it just got
Speaker 3: too weird.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this one, this, I think this one takes. I
Speaker 2: think it takes the bottom position. Yeah. Yes, for now,
Speaker 2: they're going to crown it the worst episode of season
Speaker 2: three so far, so far, Right, there's we still have
Speaker 2: multiple episodes to go, so this, I'm that's it. I
Speaker 2: can't We're gonna have to switch to a different scene.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna write, I'm gonna have seen and yeah, oh boy,
Speaker 2: well yeah.
Speaker 3: I don't know. Do you have everywhere you looks like
Speaker 3: I almost don't want to. I didn't want to look.
Speaker 3: But everywhere you look was another dream.
Speaker 2: See right, everywhere you look is a creepy, weird caterpillar
Speaker 2: with human looking eyes and uh a strange shaped head.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's everywhere you look.
Speaker 2: No, I didn't really have I didn't really have an
Speaker 2: everywhere you look for this for this one, I don't think.
Speaker 1: No, I just know I didn't.
Speaker 2: I always write those down, and I did not see anything.
Speaker 3: You're checking your notes, I am checking. I don't really
Speaker 3: have a great one. Except in the last scene I noticed.
Speaker 3: I feel like they kept switching off between Mary, Kate
